Most RV roofs need resealing every 1–3 years depending on sun exposure and climate conditions. UV rays and heat accelerate membrane wear, especially in Southern California's intense sun. At Camper Keepers, we inspect roof seams and recommend resealing based on visible cracking or weathering to prevent leaks before they start.

Common causes include faulty thermostats, corroded anode rods, pilot light issues in gas units, or tripped circuit breakers in electric models. Sediment buildup can also reduce efficiency and damage heating elements. Regular anode rod replacement and annual maintenance help extend water heater lifespan and prevent emergency failures.

Yes, RV electrical systems use both low-voltage 12-volt DC for lights and accessories, and standard 120-volt AC for appliances when plugged into shore power. At Camper Keepers, we diagnose and repair both systems, including circuit troubleshooting, fuse box testing, rewiring, and ground fault protection installation to keep your RV safe and functional.

Patching repairs localized damage like punctures or small tears using industry-approved sealants, while full membrane replacement involves removing the entire roof layer and installing a new one. Replacement is necessary when widespread cracking, UV degradation, or multiple leaks compromise the roof's integrity beyond what spot repairs can fix.

Warning signs include grinding noises, slow or uneven movement, the slide stopping mid-cycle, or complete failure to extend or retract. These symptoms often indicate motor wear, gear damage, or misaligned tracks. At Camper Keepers, we test slide-out systems and perform motor repairs, seal replacements, and track alignment to restore smooth operation.

RV refrigerators can fail due to faulty thermostats, burner or heating element issues, low propane pressure, or coolant leaks in absorption systems. Blocked ventilation and improper leveling also reduce cooling efficiency. Camper Keepers repairs refrigerators from major brands like Dometic and Norcold, diagnosing both gas and electric cooling problems.

Mobile RV service brings professional diagnostics, routine maintenance, and urgent repairs directly to your location, eliminating the need to tow your RV to a shop. Services include electrical repairs, water heater fixes, appliance troubleshooting, and slide-out adjustments. At Camper Keepers, we serve customers throughout Ventura and Los Angeles counties for convenient on-site repairs.

UV protection coatings reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption, slowing down membrane degradation caused by intense sun exposure common in Southern California. These coatings extend roof lifespan by preventing cracking, fading, and brittleness. Applying UV coatings during routine maintenance is a cost-effective way to protect your investment and avoid premature membrane replacement.

The anode rod is a sacrificial metal component that attracts corrosive elements, protecting the water heater tank from rust. Replacement involves draining the tank, removing the old rod, and installing a new one—typically needed every 1–2 years. At Camper Keepers, we use OEM parts and recommend regular replacement to prevent tank corrosion and extend water heater life.

Yes, solar panel integration involves connecting panels to your RV's battery bank through a charge controller, allowing you to harness renewable energy for boondocking and off-grid camping. At Camper Keepers, we handle solar panel installation, inverter troubleshooting, and battery testing to ensure seamless integration with your existing 12-volt system for reliable power.

Slide-out seals deteriorate from UV exposure, extreme temperature changes, dirt buildup, and repeated extension cycles. Cracked or torn seals allow water, dust, and pests to enter the RV. Regular cleaning and lubrication extend seal life, but replacement is necessary when visible damage occurs. Camper Keepers replaces seals to maintain weatherproof protection and prevent interior damage.

Ignoring intermittent electrical issues like flickering lights or tripped breakers is a common mistake that can lead to serious problems like shorts, fires, or complete system failure. Small issues often indicate loose connections, corroded wires, or faulty components. At Camper Keepers, we recommend immediate diagnostics to prevent safety hazards and costly repairs down the road.
